She doens't look bad. In fact she's gorgeous, but Tyra constantly complains that she wants a High Fashion girl (which I doubt she will ever achieve) to win the show. This girl is beautiful, but not high fashion. I'm not going to get my hopes up on a girl that is not going to win.

Hmmm... I actually like the face. But the clothes are waaaay of for a model, and she looks a little big.

What is THIS? How did THIS get casted? Looks like a MILF auditioning for Flavor of Love or something. This cast is overall pathetic. Ew.

did they have her filling for her daughter or somethin?? She looks old as hell now she gonna have to miss all those bingo nights to watch herself on tv! You know u are wrong lady....

Cruela Devil? Just a little nicer and younger.

www.gccaz.edu/Athletics/VBall/4.HTM is the website to see Tahlia. She looks def. younger here. She's a volleyball player.

I still don't see model material. Her head is pretty much a circle. No bone structure.

I still don't know about her. She is always smiling. She needs to relax her face so I can judge better.

This......is our 12 cycles winner. *sarcastic much* but......will she shock us all?

no she won't.

Wow she's quite tall 6'1 - 6'2 apparently...

Here's her story (without spaces) - http:// honestlyantm12.wordpress.com /tahlia/

[it's written within someones comment btw]
She is clearly a very strong and beautiful person but I stand by what I originally said that I see very limited modelling potential (based on what I've seen) but I'd love for her to prove me wrong.

I am reserving judgment. In this photo, she is not modelesque at all.

she looks like a suburbian mom

I see her as a good person but I dunno is kinda annoying to see her... she could be on of those nice but annoying friends of my mom...

All l could think of when l saw this picture is, "Are u ****ing kidding me.".lol..She better not crack a smile from the premiere until the time she is sent home..They should have never kept this shot of her. She looks nothing like a model in this pic, and honestly, stare at it as long as u like, I just don't read it. Her story touches me from the inside, my heart goes out to her, but, how is she going to do photoshoots that show her scars, like bathingsuits, nudes?? Gotta see what she is working with..

^I think she will be kept around for her story because she can be an inspiration to people who have burns (i.e. inspiration doesn't equate to delusion). And you are right about the photoshoots that will involve showing a lot of skin. Harsh as it may sound, skin imperfections are just not "fashionable." Fashion is a harsh harsh world, period.

Despite how much I hate her you know how lauren from cycle 10 everyone thought she would go just cuz of her pre show picture

I think if we give her more flattering clothes, give her a new haircut, and tell her not to smile so much, she might have a bit of potential. But right now, she is reminding me of a "depends" diaper model.

worst antm contestan ever, she's waaaay to old, hopes she gets elimanated first.

Shes not even old. Celia and Isabella look older than her
